Childcare and Babysitting

A kid is under the age of twelve. A teenage is thirteen and above. It is against the law for anyone under 16 to be allowed to babysit and so no!

I am an officer of 12 years, to my knowledge there is not a strict law of a certain age to babysit in Tennessee. As I know, the average age is 11-12 years. My 12 year old son started babysitting my 3 year old daughter when he was 11. He is very responsible and he said it was easy. I think that children should be trusted with younger SIBLINGS at that age, not strangers kids. I found that my daughter loved it when she was babysat by him.

The legal age of baby-sitting is 12 for 3-4 hours

Yes, an 11 year old can babysit in Virginia. The decision is up to the parents of the babysitter and the parents of the child. Most children do not babysit until they are 12 years old.

There are no laws stating what age a child can babysit in Arizona. A good rule of thumb would be whenever they are old enough to get CPR certified through an institution like a local rec center or Red Cross.

It is best to take a babysitting corse somewhere in your community, or ask someone who knows a lot about babysitting to help you find information. Once you have done that, you should put up flyers around your neighborhood advertising that you are a babysitter and put contact information so that potential clients can contact you. Also, you can talk to people that you know that have children and ask them if they need a babysitter. Sometimes it is best to start off with watching children while the parents are somewhere in the house doing something else, just to get a feel for watching children but without the full responsibility.

1. Food allergy - Especially dairy products such as milk and cheese. This can also contribute to ear infections when younger.

2. Stressful environment.

no not if its not ok with their parents and you dont have the right to spank them if they arent your kids!.

I would assume a child could stay in a child care center during their regular hours of operation. If you would your child to stay in a center for extended periods of time, you could try checking out adoption centers.

what are the hazards workers facing when they are working in achild cre centers? what are the severity and priority of control? how each hazards could be fixed?

Teenagers babysit because they are too young to get a real job.

Go take the Red Cross babysitting class and get their certificate. Then, call your parent's friends with young children and tell them you are ready to babysit. Find out what the going prices for babysitting are in your area and when you go to a job act professional. Do not invite friends in, eat everything they have, or fall asleep leaving the children alone.

It is ok if the parent of the childrern you want to babysit for says its ok. I'm not quite 13 yet and I babysit kids that aren't even related to me.

All of your own.

Children should not watch children. If you have someone watch your children they should be paid the going rate for the job. Having responsibility for a child's care and welfare is a bigger job than most children are able to do. There is more to child care or babysitting than most people are aware of. Anything can happen at any given time and a child (if chosen to do this job) should be able to make adult choices about any given situation that may occur. If you have a child babysit, this child should be paid the going rate that any adult would make.

as many as u want as long as u know u can handle it

Again this user is offering dangerously incorrect information. Bringing children into your home to babysit DOES have a limit. You cannot operate a daycare service out of your home without licensing and hopefully insurance. ALL state laws require a business license, home and safety inspection, and a background check of anyone to be considered an "employee" or service provider. You can be fined and shut down if you try to bring in "as many as you want".

Please refer to any state and local laws that may be in addition to basic business licensing and safety laws which effect every state.

childminder, social services,

There is no law saying at what age you are allowed to babysit in england. However there are recomendations by some charities: most say aged 14 or 16, aproximately. However if an adult leaves their child in the charge of a miner then they remain responsible for the child wellfare.

well the government really doesnt pay for babysitters, but it depends on how much the parents/gaurdians are willing to pay, which depends on experience and trust. good luck!

This is a real problem with little ones, but I wouldn't get too upset because things usually work out. The more of a fuss and the more threats you enlighten her with the more upset she will get. It's not about stubborness at all, but for some reason it's as if seeing their urine or poop splash into that toilet bowl is an unnatural thing.

Here is one tip: Tell her if she "makes a pee pee or a poop" you will let her put some colored sparkles into the water and let her flush the toilet. Make a game of it! Sparkles are cheap to buy and it will only take a few weeks to get her use to it. The idea is to intrigue her enough to want to have a poop so she can see those sparkles go down the drain.

If this doesn't work, let her peers take care of it. Eventually the other kids will tease her for still wearing diapers. Try those Junior diapers that look like little girls undies.

When you go to the washroom have her in there and talk to her about it and that everything is OK when you do "the #1 or #2." Give her gentle reminders that she'll be a big girl when she can do her business in the toilet. Then ignore it.

Remember, bed-wetting, etc., can be signs of the child's bladder not being completely matured at the rate of her growth, so try to put up with it for a bit and let nature take on the rest. You don't really see 6 years and up wearing diapers and your little girl will get the hang of it. Don't let anyone put the pressure on you for not toilet training your little girl. She will do it on her own time.

Not in all cases. As long as the parents know you're not certified, and they are still okay with that.
